I've been out of the music gear game for almost a decade and have no idea what it's like these days. I'd love some help figuring out what this little guy might go for. Delete if not allowed :)
Not trying to price gouge, just trying to determine a fair price. I know Fortin has a 3 channel Cali so not sure where this one falls.
I've owned this since 2011 and has been my favorite amp by far. The only modification done to it was adding a slave out with the help of Mike himself (got the emails to prove it). He was going to add an effects loop for me, but he just got too busy and this was our compromise. This is a single channel, 50 watt, "cali mod" amp.

If you're not familiar, this is the amp in question:

There are a lot of factors. The commercial fortin just got reissued recently (still in limited numbers) and the gear market is going backwards in value. However, it is done by Fortin rather than on a mass level. I, personally, would probably price it like the commercial ones even though it has fewer features and see if you have buyers. That is one I would even considering picking up (I had a commercial Cali, it was fantastic).
 
I just want to say that is a really cool amp. I would contact Mike and see what was all done to it if you are looking to sell it for any more info.
